Tom,

My name is Cheryl and I will be assisting you, but I need more information in order to help you futher.
What program are you using to play the DVD - iDVD? What version?

You placed your question under OS 10.0 - Is this the present OS X version you are running?

Tom,

Go to Applications>Utilities and start up Disk Utility. When that opens, click on the second hard drive icon at the top left, then click on Repair Permissions.

When done, quit Disk Utility and give the DVD a try.

Is this DVD a commercial one, or a burned one? Does this happen with all DVDs or just one in particular?
